CONDITIONAL EXPERIENCE PROJECTS
LA by Night is instituting a new system to allow players to contribute to the game who may not be available to play on the nights that major plot related scenes are run or who are simply more social players. This system gives characters a way to build up their reputation with other PCs and the NPCs as well as earn Experience Points (XP).
These projects are to be things to benefit the community. A character might teach a lesson or write up a guide that will allow others to learn something. A character could also arrange some sort of business opportunity for others. These projects can take any number of forms depending on what sort of things the character is skilled in.
Each character is allowed two actions per month towards their Conditional XP Projects. In order to complete a project, a total of ten successes must be reached. An action gives you an extended roll consisting of three rolls. If ten successes are not reached then the project may be continued with the next action until ten successes cumulatively are reached.
Multiple characters may work together on a Conditional XP Project each getting their own set of rolls and then adding their successes together. The total number of successes is still ten successes.
The standard award for all Conditional XP Projects completed is ten experience points for each player who contributed to the project. It is therefore advantageous to work together on projects and get them finished with less actions. The character(s) that contributed to the project receive the award automatically.
The rolls for the project can be made even if the ST is not present as long as the player keeps a log of the rolls. The project must then be submitted to a thread provided on the forum for these project submissions details the nature of the project, the character(s) involved, the stats used, and the requested Secondary Bonus, etc.

Once the project has been approved, the information will be moved to a new thread created for that project. The total Experience Points awarded will be listed as well as any Secondary Bonus. This bonus will take the form of a statistic on the sheet that will automatically be justified for purchase with the awarded XP. Other items may be purchased with this XP, but separate justification for approval will be required as usual.
In order for other characters to receive the award, their player must state that the characters take advantage of the help of the character(s) who completed the project. This will be accomplished by the player making a post on the thread for that Conditional Experience Project stating which character(s) of theirs accept the help. Once this is done, the award is received.
